Long-Term Use of Bonviva® for the Treatment of Postmenopausal Osteoporosis: New Evidence

Journal Title: Біль. Суглоби. Хребет - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 9

Abstract

Osteoporosis is a disease of great social importance. Its treatment is a complicated problem and is associated with low compliance and a risk for adverse reactions. Ibandronate belongs to a group of bisphosphonates. The performed trials have proven the efficacy of its two formulations (a tablet once monthly and intravenous injection once every 3 months) in reducing the risk of bone fractures. At present there are data on trials of long-term therapy with this drug, which demonstrate its positive effect on bone mineral density and bone metabolism markers. In addition, high safety of the drug has been shown in long-term use.
